With SAP HANA Calculation Views, several database tables can be joined and combined with filters and arithmetic operations.

In addition, the calculation views offer the possibility of data mapping and parameterization.

SAP HANA Express and Netweaver R3, how can this fit togehter?

The earliest article I found about a connection of SAP HANA as a second database to Netweaver and the R3 system was published by SAP in 2012, so it is possible to connect a HANA express sstem to a Netweaver R3.

With such a connection you can work with SAP HANA in the Netweaver ABAP Stack, which is a good, fast and inexpensive combination for first projects or proofs of concept , for example.

The current version of SAP HANA Express is 2.0 SPS 04. Version 2.0 SPS 05 has already been released for the full version of SAP HANA. The release of the corresponding HANA Express version is eagerly awaited. For corporate applications, SAP has published a SAP HANA Development Metro Map that structures the development process in terms of a procedure model. This map is interactive and directs the reader to relevant information material.
